It’s been a long time but OzCHI is returning to New Zealand! The theme for this year’s OzCHI is Design from a Distant World, recognising that Australia and New Zealand are physically distant from much of the world, but that we have unusual strengths in Design and Human Computer Interaction.
We invite contributions on any topic related to how people or societies interact with technologies, including but not limited to:
- Indigenous influences on technology
- Design for connection
- Equity and ethics in human computer interaction
- Conceptual issues in human computer interaction or design
- Empirical studies of interactions between people and technology
- Social implications of novel systems
- Design for under-represented groups
- Technical human computer interaction
Contributions must be novel, not published or under review elsewhere. Authors may be students, academics, or industry practitioners – all are welcome!
There will be some opportunity for online participation in the short and long paper tracks, and workshop organisers may elect to hold workshops online. All participants should note, though, that the conference will run in New Zealand Daylight Time and consider their options accordingly [Check your local time in AoE].
CONTRIBUTION TYPES
There are several ways to contribute to the OzCHI program:
LONG PAPERS
Long papers are substantial new contributions that present either novel research or novel conceptual thinking. Long papers should be polished, fully formed thinking or completed research studies. Contributions should be at minimum 7,500 words plus references, but may be any length longer than this (authors are encouraged to submit a paper of length proportional to its contribution). Long papers should be anonymised for peer review. Accepted long papers will be included in the conference proceedings at the ACM Digital Library.
Key dates:
Submission deadline: 14 June 2023
Author notification: 3 August 2023
Camera ready deadline: 4 October 2023
SHORT PAPERS
There are two types of short papers submissions:
- Papers that contribute a description of novel research or conceptual thinking that does not require the full 7,500 words, or which presents work that is still in progress. These papers may be up to 7,000 words plus references and should be anonymised for peer review. Accepted short papers will be included in the conference proceedings at the ACM Digital Library.
- Case study papers that may be industry or research based, and present an application of design, usability or human computer interaction in a specific setting to achieve a specific goal. Case study authors may choose not to have their studies included in proceedings if they wish. Case studies should be up to 7,000 words plus references, but may be shorter. Due to the highly specialised nature of case studies, these contributions do not need to be anonymised.
Key dates:
Submission deadline: 16 August 2023
Author notification: 5 October 2023
Camera ready deadline: 30 October
WORKSHOPS
Workshops should aim to bring together HCI researchers and/or practitioners to discuss and advance a topic of common interest. Workshop proposals comprise two parts:
- A workshop abstract of up to 4,000 words plus references, explaining the topic, its relevance to HCI, current research questions, and the proposed outcomes of the workshop.
- A supplementary document including
-
- Whether the workshop is a half or full day
- Proposed timetable
- Organiser bios
- A URL for the workshop website (does not need to be active at submission)
- A 100 word blurb for the OzCHI website
- A description of required support (e.g. a room with whiteboards and pens and tables for group discussion). Please note that requests for support that cannot be accommodated will be returned to authors for discussion
Key dates:
Submission deadline: 12 July 2023
Author notification: 7 August 2023
Camera ready deadline: 4 October
DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM
The doctoral colloquium is a forum for doctoral researchers to share their work and get feedback in a supportive environment. This is also an excellent opportunity to meet other doctoral students in your discipline. Doctoral students may be at any stage in their candidature, however we normally accept submissions from students who are at least 6 months in. Students should be the sole author on their contribution, except where required by their institution to include their supervisors. Submissions to the doctoral colloquium should be no more than 5000 words plus references, and should give an overview of the literature gap, and the method the student proposes to use or is using to address this gap. Planned social or practical benefits of the work should be addressed, and students may wish to recap any results they have from early studies. Students should submit a letter of support from their supervisor as supplementary material.
Key dates:
Submission deadline: 23 August 2023
Author notification: 21 September 2023
DEMOS
Demos are original and innovative contributions that are best suited to be presented in a special, highly interactive session. The OzCHI Demonstration track is the hands-on part of the conference for showing your work and engaging with the OzCHI attendees. Your demonstration may include technical or design exhibits, interactive demos, a lab/corporate exhibition or any combination of these.
Key dates:
Submission deadline: 4 October 2023
Author notification: 30 October 2023
We look forward to seeing you in Wellington!
